Special Correspondence Of the Sentinel
GREENSBORO, Jan. 25.-Your cores
pondent has just interviewed the Superin-
tendent of the Silver Valley Railroad, now |
being built from Townsville to the above |
named mines, II miles South. The Rail- |
road is to be novelty III its way The
route has been cleared and partially graded.
A track has been xtemporized-common
logs-all sorts and sizes, laid end to end
the big end of one log is aided out to re-
ceive the little end of the next one, and so
on, fastened together by a stout pin or bolt
The engine has been built by Tanner d De-
lany, of Richmond, especially for the track
The drivers and trucks are to have double
| fanges, eight or ten inches deep, to straddle
over these logs. The wheels of the flats to
| be used on the road are built in the same
way The Silver Valley Mining Company
are making the above experiment, to facili-
tate the moving of large gu antilles of ore to
| Townsville, where reduction works are to
be located. This crude experiment may
revolutionize Railroad building. 1t is said
the E. & D. R. R. officials are watching it
with great deal of curious interest. If
| successful it will furnish better solution
for the construction of short roads-feeders
to the great trunk lines.
The above mine is one of the many now
being doomed in and near that section.
Speculation is ripe and half dozen men
have just been made independent by turn
of fortunes tickle wheel.
UNCLE FRANK.
Hon. D. F. Caldwell has just returned
from Raleigh, where he has been to tell the
"new ISSUE how to legislate. What he
doesn't know about making laws (illo jadice)
isn't worth knowing. He says he wants his
friends to take stock in his new bank soon
to be organized here. 1t is understood that
when Gov. Scales term of Office is out he
1 will return home and go into the banking
, business. There is complaint among bust
] ness men-notably tobacco men-that the
! one bank here does not offer such facilitie.
: for their business they need and can gel
o with more liberal banks elsewhere. The
a banking enterprise has been chartered ape
: will doubtless soon become an institution O
: our growing town.
